Scholarship AFLI - Portuguese

African Flagship Languages Initiative (AFLI) applicants for Portuguese participate in the official summer AFLI program at the University of Florida, as well as the official fall AFLI program in Mozambique, administered by American Councils for International Education and hosted at the Universidade Eduardo Mondlane.

These programs are appropriate for those with no previous experience in the language, as well as those at a novice, intermediate, or advanced level. Participation in both the summer and fall programs is mandatory for all participants regardless of initial proficiency level.

Applicants should note that the summer and fall programs are full-time language and culture programs. Applicants are encouraged to request funding to stay in Mozambique after the fall program is complete. During that time, students participate in study abroad programs that they identify on their own and note in the Boren application. These programs must include language learning opportunities.

Choose “yes” for the following question, indicating that you will participate in the summer program.

If you are planning to extend into the spring, on a program you are selecting yourself, complete the “study abroad program II” section.

DO NOT complete the alternate study abroad program section.

DO NOT include any summer costs in your budget (the Boren Scholarship will fully fund the summer program as an additional supplement to the overseas funding.)

If your overseas program will be fall-only, enter $0 as all of your costs (the Boren Scholarship will fully fund the fall program).

If you are planning to extend past 11/28/2019, enter your overseas budget for 11/29/2019 through the end of your proposed dates. The maximum additional funding that Boren Scholars may receive for the optional extension is $10,000.
